STTLMNT and RED BRIGADE FILMS PRESENTS:
Razelle Benally’s Director's Cut world premiere and live zoom conversation
SATURDAY, 29 MAY
7:00 pm BST, UK / 2:00pm EST, US
We invite our communities to engage in the work of STTLMNT participating artist Razelle Benally through an exclusive viewing experience of a 30 minute Directors Cut Film, documenting over 17 STTLMNT participating artists on their homelands or in their studios across Turtle Island (North America).
Director Razelle Benally will premiere a very special Directors Cut using footage she has gathered over the course of her work on the STTLMNT x Red Brigade Films short documentary series, incorporating behind the scenes and previously unseen footage.
“The STTLMNT video series is not only a response to the current state of the world, but illuminates the proactive nature and resilience of the Indigenous artists, bringing back a sense of unity in a time where social engagement has been limited. This short non-fiction narrative is intended to provide additional access to artists of the STTLMNT Digital Occupation” -Razelle Benally, Director-Red Brigade Films
The STTLMNT short documentary series was created by Red Brigade Films Director Razelle Benally as she traveled across Turtle Island (North America) for over a year, gathering footage and stories of STTLMNT participating Indigenous artists in their homelands and studios to spotlight their work and stories, producing a gorgeous series of short documentaries for the STTLMNT Digital Occupation.
The Director's Cut premiere is a culmination of Director Razelle Benally’s work on the STTLMNT project through Red Brigade Films and celebrates the end of our program season.
Following the Directors Cut film premiere, STTLMNT Native American lead/concept artist Cannupa Hanska Luger will speak with Razelle Benally about the work of the Red Brigade Films series and reflect on the overall STTLMNT Digital Occupation. We will finish out the event program with an open dialogue Q&A inviting audience participation, and invite reflections by the UK producers, The Conscious Sisters, and we will end this even with Cannupa Hanska Luger giving closing remarks and reflection on the project.
